About: Looking for a safe and accommodating environment for your pet? Hi I'm James Herbert and as we know hiring a Pet sitter can be a little nerve racking especially if your pet has any medical conditions. In my day care i am more than comfortable taking on any accommodations that your pet may need. I have several years of experience including giving shoots to a diabetic dog, giving dogs there prescriptions at certain times, as well caring for disabled dogs. With that being said all dogs and cats are welcome, from the young spry pets who need lots of play and runs to your elder pets who take things at there own pace. I'm here to adjust to your pets specific needs and make them feel comfortable, as my goal for every pet is to create a second home environment. So whether you need walking or Doggy daycare leave it to me to go above and beyond. If your dog is elder and has a weak Blatter I've got you covered on diapers, if your dog has Cushing's disease or any disorder that requires special care I'm more than happy to accommodate. I Pride myself in keeping a safe, healthy, and playful environment for your pet. Allow me to care for and keep a watchful eye on your beloved pets. Thank you I'm currently enrolled in a vet tech college that's all online and currently I’m only working part time, this leaves plenty of time in my schedule to take care of your pets from early morning afternoon and night ill work around the clock to give your pet the proper care and attention. I have a lot of experience with different pets in different environments including administering medicine through shoots and orally for sick and elder dogs. I have experience with huge yards and very energetic dogs, I love to run around and play with them while also keeping them safe and under control especially if the yard isint fenced. For my environment I have a spacey back yard fenced in with all grass that where my Dog lance loves to run around.

“Shelly was happy to help me out with a last-minute need and my dog was made a member of the family while he was boarding in their home!”
“Edgar did a housesit with my two huskies. I’m always anxious leaving them (as they are quite anxious when I’m away) but he kept me updated which made me feel secure they were getting the best care possible. Also appreciate his efforts to keep my home clean despite my dogs shedding their winter coats throughout the sit. Would definitely work with him again!”
“Alissa was a great dog sitter for Athena over the weekend. She made sure all instructions were followed and that Athena got plenty of walks and love!”

About: Hello I’m Ashley! I’ve been around animals my whole life, but caring for them became my passion over the past five years. I’ve spent a year at at dog training and daycare facility, working with all kinds of dogs—from playful puppies to seniors and even those with behavioral or health challenges. I’ve also done private pet sitting for years, so whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs special attention, they’ll be in safe, loving hands with me! I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, and rodents :)) I’m working part time, so I have plenty of free time to devote to your loved one. I’m looking to fill as much of my time with animals as possible! When I care for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and stress-free. I maintain their usual routine—whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or quiet cuddle sessions—so they feel secure. I’m attentive to their body language and needs, ensuring they get plenty of love and attention. For dogs, I provide safe, fun exercise and calming companionship. For cats, I respect their space, offering play or snuggles based on their personality. I’m also experienced with administering medication, managing special diets, and keeping a tidy environment. You can trust that your home will be respected and your pet will be cared for like family.
“Joanne watched my senior very large dog in my home. She responded promptly to my initial messages even before booking with her. We set up a walk through / introduction. She came prepared with relevant questions about my pup and took notes on anything she might need while I was gone. She took excellent care of Oso and provided regular updates and photos. She left my home in excellent condition. I would be very happy to have her watch Oso and my home again. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to take excellent care of your furry loved ones!”

“James took care of our dog, Penny, numerous times while we were traveling - often up to a week at a time. He kept her fed, exercised and safe. Penny developed diabetes in her later years and required insulin shots. James learned how to administer them so he could care for her. Once, when she took a downturn, he spent hours at the vet with her while we rushed home. I highly recommend James as he is dependable, reliable and trustworthy. You won’t regret using his services!”
